Tone on Tone Anniversary

Hi everyone.  This is the last anniversary card I need this year and I decided to make it using this month's technique from the Group of Seven Cardmakers which is Textured Backgrounds using Die Cuts and I decided to keep it mostly white on white.  I used a very old set of Nellie Snellen dies and another Nellie Snellen set, also ancient which are scalloped circles, and I did emboss the four plain hearts in each of the corners using a Leonie Pujol Embossing Folder called Dotty Heart.  

I decided to add the die cuts straight onto the card front as I needed the full space in order to fit the hearts onto this 6" square card.  I wanted to make the four central hearts look like a flower and the scalloped circle used for the sentiment to be the centre of the flower, and also added the four smaller hearts which were embossed with the Dotty Heart EF.  I also looked through my container with some useful bits of throwaway pieces out of dies, and I found these red hearts so decided to use these to embellish the card for a bit of added colour, and used a Versafine Satin Red ink for the sentiment and also added a smaller heart next to that.  

Thank you for visiting me here today and I'll see you again soon.
